1318th: Cutting Huangsong, Dongqing 1 Tong (60)
The genius remembers the address of this site in a second: (Apex Chinese), the fastest update! No advertisements! "Jing also has this meaning." Cheng Jing said, "My lord, please look here."
Cheng Jing understands Huang Song's plan, it is not a good strategy to stick to Zhonghe County, the greatest value of this place lies in the food. Now 50% of the grain is harvested, enough for the army to chew for the next few months. This battle might not last long, and there was no point in continuing to harvest the remaining autumn grain.
Huang Song planned to withdraw his troops and leave Zhonghe County, and it happened that Cheng Jing also had a good place here.
"Where?" Huang Song turned his gaze to the direction Cheng Jing pointed at, "What kind of place is this?"
Cheng Jing said, "The name here is Changye."
"Changye?" Huang Song asked in surprise, "It sounds familiar, but I can't remember where I've seen it before."
Cheng Jingdao, "Changye used to be the territory of Hu County during the Great Xia Dynasty. Later, strange phenomena occurred many times, causing the people here to migrate out one after another. Over time, there was no one here. Dongqing founded the country and re-divided the prefectures and counties. It's time to separate him from Hu County."
According to what Cheng Jing said, this place is a remote place that no one can avoid.
Huang Song thought for a long time but couldn't remember where he had heard of this place.
Cheng Jing said again, "My lord, I forgot that Changye was once the place where someone's bones were buried."
When he reminded him like this, Huang Song immediately remembered the content written in a certain miscellaneous collection. The first prime minister of the Great Xia Dynasty was buried here.
"What strange phenomenon happened in Changye?" Huang Song asked.
Cheng Jingdao, "At the end of the Great Xia Dynasty, Changye experienced a severe flood. It rained heavily for a whole month, and the sky was filled with thunder and lightning. When the flood subsided, the people found that the tombs near Changye had been dug up. After some investigation, I found out that it was the thieves from other places who heard that there was a prime minister buried here, and the thieves suspected that the tomb was buried with valuables, so they went to the mountain to dig the grave when the water was flooding."
Huang Song naturally knew who the prime minister was, and it was the controversial Prime Minister Huangfu.
Cheng Jing continued, "The thieves searched the prime minister's tomb, but they didn't find any precious burials. The coffin in the center of the tomb was washed out by the heavy rain. After the thieves left, the coffin was found by a woodcutter. The woodcutter hacked the coffin into pieces with a machete. The firewood was carried back home, and the headless corpses were left in the wilderness like this. Since then, thunderstorms have often occurred in Changye, and the people dare not go out at night. More than one person has said that when they go out in thunderstorms, they can always see the outside of the town. Hundreds of millions of troops are stationed in the barracks, not only ghost soldiers and ghost generals, but the tents are also lit with will-o'-the-wisps."
Fearing that the ghost soldiers would harm people, the common people moved away from Changye one after another.
Over time, Changye became a deserted land.
Huang Song said awkwardly, "Isn't this a ghost story?"
He's...a bit afraid of ghosts...
Cheng Jing said, "It is indeed a story."
When Huang Song asked him where Changye was, Cheng Jing would tell the story.
Huang Song: "..."
Scary in broad daylight!
Huang Song carefully looked at the terrain of Changye, and had to admit that Cheng Jing's choice was right.
but
Huang Song laughed and said, "What if the ghost soldier jumps out and intervenes when I confront Lanting?"
Cheng Jing glanced at his lord, as if he was looking at a staff. Is this a matter of concern now?
Facts have proved that the ghost story is a story after all, and Changye will become deserted because a plague broke out here.
The source of the plague was that the waterlogging washed a large number of floating corpses to Changye, and the corpse water polluted the water source here, making the people sick.
Most of the people died of illness, and the rest moved away.
Huang Song and Cheng Jing reached a consensus, but were strongly opposed by other people in the account.
Yuan Xin's eldest son, Yuan Kuang, was one of the representatives who opposed him the most.
"My lord, why do you want to retreat to Changye? That place is too open, which is not conducive to our army's combat."
The original situation is that I really don't understand, what's wrong with staying in Zhonghe County, anyway, there is still enough food. What can I do if I go to Changye? How can we fight a war if there is no terrain to rely on? Because Huang Song punished Yuan Kuang, Yuan Kuang's status is not as good as before, and his character is not delicate,
It's just an early bird pushed by others, the purpose is to bear Huang Song's anger, and test Huang Song's tone by the way.
Huang Song glanced at the original situation and said nothing, but Cheng Jing explained patiently, not knowing whether to tell the original situation or explain to others.
Cheng Jingdao, "Zhonghe County is not a place that is easy to defend and difficult to attack. Liu Xi has enough troops. If we adopt a siege strategy and cut off our water and food, how should we deal with it? This is one. Second, Liu Xi's troops are divided into two The road, flanking left and right, and dealing with them at the same time, it will be our fault over time. Instead of getting deeper and deeper in this predicament, it is better to break free as soon as possible, put it to death and survive."
If Huang Song wanted to live in Zhonghe County, it would be more convenient to go back to Haozhou.
Huang Song's goal is to confront the two armies and decide the outcome at once. Changye is a good place for the battle.
Your side doesn't have many advantages to exploit, and neither does your enemy.
In real comparison, Jiang Ji suffered even more in the battle of Changye.
Huang Song received the autumn grain from Zhonghe County, so he was not burdened by the grain line, and Jiang Ji had to allocate extra energy to protect the grain line.
Yuan Kuang's personality followed that of his deceased father, Yuan Xin, but he was not as old as Yuan Xin, and he was not qualified to rely on his old age.
As long as there is no problem with the general principles of Huang Song's decision, he will not change it because of the opposition of others.
Yuan Kuang was dissatisfied in his heart, but his arms couldn't twist his thighs, so he could only hold back his anger forcibly.
Everyone also saw Huang Song's determination and had to agree.
At this time, someone asked, "The autumn harvest is not over yet, what should I do with the grain in the field?"
Keep it for the enemy to collect?
Huang Song said indifferently, "Set it on fire, burn it."
What you don't have, others can't have.
That night, a fire broke out in Zhonghe County, and the fire was fierce and frightening.
Jiang Ji was called out. She was wearing pajamas and a large cloak.
"Water in Zukahe County? What's going on?"
She glanced in the direction of Zhonghe County, the flames filled the sky, dyeing the dark sky red, the color was between red and orange.
Everyone is not clear.
Jiang Ji smiled and said, "Could it be that Luo Yue and the others finally found a chance to burn Bogao's precious autumn food?"
Regarding this, Luo Yue also expressed his bewilderment.
This fire is so similar to the one in the Three Mountains Canyon, the flames seem to burn everything.
"Who set the fire?"
Luo Yue said that it wasn't him anyway.
Taking advantage of the opportunity of the fire to attract the enemy's attention, Huang Song's army retreated safely.
But they didn't rest easy for too long, and Jiang Ji realized it after half a day.
Jiang Ji was surprised, "Bogao withdrew his troops? But it doesn't look like he's going back to Haozhou or Hejian County"
Wei Ci said, "This direction...is Changye!"
Jiang Ji looked in the direction Wei Ci pointed, and it was clear on the sand table.
She instantly understood Huang Song's intentions.
"In that case, then as he wishes."
